About this Event
🎃 HOT TAKES & PUMPKIN CARVES 🎃
An Unpopular Opinion Night + Pumpkin Carving Competition by Childlike Collective
Do you have an opinion that would get you kicked out of the group chat? 😂
Maybe you think brunch is overrated.
Maybe pineapple belongs on pizza.
Maybe pumpkin spice season is doing too much.
Maybe The Notebook isn't actually that good.
Whatever your hot take is… this is your night to say it with your chest. 👀
Join Childlike Collective for a fun, low-pressure evening where we’ll get together, meet new people, share our most controversial but harmless opinions, and get creative with a pumpkin carving competition.
🎃 WHAT TO EXPECT
🗣️ UNPOPULAR OPINION NIGHT
Come prepared with your funniest, most random, or most questionable unpopular opinion. We'll have prompts to get the conversation going and give everyone a chance to participate.
🎃 PUMPKIN CARVING COMPETITION
Grab your carving tools and let your creativity take over! You'll have a set amount of time to turn your pumpkin into… whatever your heart desires.
🏆 COMPETITION + PRIZES
We'll have a few fun categories and prizes for the winning pumpkins!
🤝 MEET NEW PEOPLE
Whether you're coming with friends or showing up solo, there will be easy icebreakers and activities designed to help you actually talk to people instead of standing around awkwardly.
🍿 SNACKS + GOOD VIBES
Because no creative activity is complete without something to snack on.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Young adults ages 20–39 who want to get out, meet people, be creative, laugh a little, and do something different.
You don't need to be artistic.
You don't need to know anyone.
You don't need to have the "right" opinion.
Just come as you are. ❤️
IMPORTANT: This is a lighthearted space. Keep opinions respectful and focused on fun, everyday topics. No hate speech, harassment, or personal attacks.
